The 15th annual Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards ceremony took place on 25 May 2018 with a crowd of 230 attendees coming together to celebrate the 85 best performing Asian hedge funds of 2017. The Best Asian Hedge Fund award went to Red Cliff Asia Fund – an Asia focused relative value player.

Winners who swept their nomination categories are Black Crane Asia Opportunities Fund who were named Best Asian Event Driven Fund for the second year running, and Best Asia ex-Japan Hedge Fund. Also included in this double winner list is Hayate Japan Equity Long Short Fund for clinching Best Japan Hedge Fund and Best Singapore-based Hedge Fund.

Other notable winners are Akito Fund who held on to their title of Most Consistent Asia-based Fund and Credence Global with Best Asia-based CTA/Managed Futures Fund – both for the third consecutive year since 2016. Malabar India Fund is also a returning winner, having been named Best Indian Hedge Fund for the second consecutive year.

This year we conducted an SMS auction and live auction for charity partner the Down Syndrome Association (Singapore). A total of S$44,200 was raised thanks to the efforts and contributions from guests and we sincerely appreciate the support.

As always, Eurekahedge would like to thank everyone for their continuous support of the Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards through sponsorships, judging and selection of nominees and winners. Pictures and video from the event will be up on our website in the days to come.
